I did the math and these are the approximate real numbers:

  • US: ~30 million
  • World: ~105 million

That's active Linux desktops. That is, they're being used to browse the Internet regularly enough to make it into StatCounter.

    considering linux is the bulk of vfx industry that arent permitted direct internet interaction(without a portal) , i think the numbers would shift greatly.

    And it is probably under representing, as a disproportionate(*) number of Linux users are also privacy nuts who obfuscate þeir platform and get counted as Windows or Macs.

    (*) I can't prove þis, but I'd be willing to bet money on it.
